Current Events > Tucker Carlson Turns On Trump: 'Imagine If Barack Obama Had Said That'

(+) Yeah! (+)

Fox News host Tucker Carlson doesnt criticize Donald Trump very often, but he did so on Thursday night after the president suggested taking guns away from potentially dangerous people before due process.

Imagine if Barack Obama had said that, Carlson said. Just ignore due process and start confiscating guns.

Carlson said Obama wouldve been denounced as a dictator for making such a comment.

We would have denounced him first, trust me, Carlson said. Congress would be talking impeachment right now. Some would be muttering about secession.

It was the second time in recent months that Carlson had broken with the president. In January, Carlson called out Trump for indicating that he would be willing to protect young undocumented immigrants, who are also known as dreamers. Noting that Trumps campaign platform was tough on immigration, Carlson asked: So what was the point of running for president?

Damn its real bad when one of the main Alt-Right leaders is criticizing Trump

How is Tucker Carlson alt-right? What sort of white nationalist, neo nazi, etc. viewpoints does he support?
---

Apparently supporting the 2nd amendment now makes someone alt-right.

They imagined Obama saying it for 8 years and called him a dictator anyway.

Now when their God Emperor says it, it's all "BUT OBAMA REEEEEEEEE"

the reaction would have been worse if Obama had said it because Obama would have actually intended to follow it up with action. coming from Trump's mouth, it was just a thoughtless boast made to make himself look tough that completely backfired in his face, and he never intended to actually see anything through about it, and everyone knows that.

if everyone knows Trump is full of shit, why do his supporters believe him on everything else? There are still people anxiously awaiting a great wall of Trump.

Jesus Christ, Tucker Carlson is about the most mainstream Republican guy there is, he's definitely not alt-right.
